Responsiveness: clear responses to questions, evidence of a good knowledge base.

Poster presentations

The criteria for oral presentations mostly apply to poster presentations as well. Of additional importance is the overall visual impact and structure/organization of the poster. The poster presentation should have a concise title that grabs the eye, lettering large enough to be clearly read, logical and clear organization, clear graphics, and use minimal text to tell the story.

Scientists eligible for the early career scientist awards should be no older than 35 at the time of the ASC. The awardees need not be first-time presenters at an ASC. However, they should not have received a previous early career/young scientist award from ICES. It is assumed that the awardee is the first author and major contributor of the research presented.

Prize

The prizes are framed certificates and vouchers for €1,000, to be used to cover participation costs in an ICES-sponsored activity, i.e. a training course, EG meeting, symposium, or workshop, but not the ASC. The voucher must be redeemed within 24 months of the award being received.
